Committer
Who is the Committer?
The one who directly accesses the code repository.
What is The Role of The Committer?
The role of the Committer is to review and eventually approve Contributors proposals.
How to Become a Committer?
The number is limited and not necessarily tied to skills and experience: it is mainly based on a history of positive contributions.
Tutoring
What is Tutoring?
It consists in helping volunteers becoming a contributor for the Open Hospital project. The tutor is not “responsible” for contributors work but plays the role of supporter.
How to Become a Tutor?
There are no particular constraints. However, it is necessary to prove a good skill level and gain experience as contributor.
01. Download the Software
The first step to become a contributor is to download the free software Open Hospital.
02. Try It Out
You can choose the demo mode, where you select a role and explore features and functionality levels, or user mode, where you are a member of the community.
03. Identify an Issue
You are ready to identify issues and see if they have already been reported. If the bug has not yet been identified, you can create the issue.
04. Create a Fix
At this stage, it is essential to develop a FIX for the issue by creating a clone of the official repository, implementing the correction and submitting a “pull request” to the COMMITTERS.
